Welcome Back!

On behalf of SBHS faculty and staff, we hope you had a safe and healthy summer!  We are looking forward to seeing your students on campus!  Thank you for your patience and support during the pandemic and we pray you and your family stayed well during this challenging time.  Please read the information below to help your student start the school year with success!

*COVID 19 UPDATE FOR SCHOOLS:  

The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) has issued new guidance to TK-12 schools which removes a number of mandates that were previously mandated, such as physical distancing, cohorting students, temperature checks, offering distance learning as an option, and the wearing of masks outdoors – these are no longer required. The new guidance offers greater flexibility to our schools providing for a full-time in-person instructional program this coming year. With the elimination of these restrictions, however, CDPH is relying on a multi-layered transmission prevention strategy in schools. This strategy includes the wearing of masks indoors for all individuals, testing (offered free by the state), frequent hand washing and indoor ventilations   SBHS must follow these guidelines and wear masks indoors.
